Very similar to the Horus Heresy books that are focused around specific campaigns, like the Battle of Isstvan V. In this case a rather weird decision, as the whole bodies were replaced and only the weapon bits from the main kits would be used, for both ranged and close combat weapons from the Empire range.Īnd these units came with additional command groups, but not just for the Empire, for other races like Orks or Dwarves too.Īs Tamurkhan covered an invasion of Chaos into the heart of the Old World, with different factions being involved in the battles.

We had upgrades to existing units, similar to the Space Marine upgrade sets, that cover different chapters and pre-heresy gear and armour pattern. The later has now a close "relative" as a complete plastic kit, the Magmadroth of the Fyreslayers.

Later a second book was released, the Monstrous Arcanum, that would cover parts of the vast bestiarium that lived in the realm of the old world. And Warhammer Forge supplied the late and last, 8th edition with such incredible books as Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos, very similar to the Horus Heresy books, that Forge World supplied so many of for Warhammer 30k. Primarely supported by Forge World and Black Library, with themed rulebooks, a vast variety of resin kits, from unit upgrades to giant sets, and dozens over dozens of novels.īut that wouldn't be a new thing for the Old World / Warhammer Fantasy Battles.īack in 2010 / 2011 Forge World formed a sister company to support the Warhammer Fantasy ranges and called Warhammer Forge. What is Horus Heresy to Warhammer 40.000? It is a premium product to the already above average ranked main game. Here ends the official status quo of information.

Interestingly enough the map adds to that theory, as the different coat of arms seen, could point towards a civil war like crisis, like the Time of Three Emperors. The setting has been set into relation with Age of Sigmar, as Horus Heresy is with Warhammer 40.000. At least two or rather three years from now. So far it has been updated with an insight to the new map of the old world.Īnd so far, we only know, that it is still a lot of time until it returns. And this has created an incredible amount of buzz. Games Workshop announced in the midth of november that the Old World of Warhammer would return. 21Feb/20 0 Return of Warhammer – The Old World
